J\u2019ai attrap\u00e9 la vieillesse. Ce n\u2019est pas une maladie et d\u2019une certaine fa\u00e7on tout le monde souhaite l\u2019attraper un jour, au sens o\u00f9 tant qu\u2019on reste vaillant, ou m\u00eame pas trop mal en point, on pr\u00e9f\u00e8re continuer \u00e0 vivre, non ?<\/strong>
I caught old age. It’s not a disease and in some way everyone wants to catch it one day, in the sense that as long as you stay strong, or even not too bad, you’d rather live on, right?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

J\u2019ai attrap\u00e9 la vieillesse. Oh, \u00e7a a commenc\u00e9 depuis longtemps puis \u00e7a s\u2019est pr\u00e9cis\u00e9.

I caught old age. Oh, it started a long time ago and then it became clearer. Take longer naps, start more slowly, take advantage of the time which devours us anyway, remain more of a spectator on the bank than an actor in the eddies of the river.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Est-ce la raison pour laquelle, mardi dernier, je n\u2019ai publi\u00e9 qu\u2019un coucou rassurant, et pas mon habituelle chronique ?<\/strong>
Mon blog a pris de l\u2019importance pour moi. C\u2019est un d\u00e9fi, hebdomadaire le plus souvent : transformer les id\u00e9es que j\u2019ai en t\u00eate, plus ou moins vagues, parfois pr\u00e9cises, les malaxer comme une p\u00e2te pour en faire un tout, savoir quand c\u2019est m\u00fbr, pr\u00eat \u00e0 r\u00e9colter, ou quand c\u2019est cuit, pr\u00eat \u00e0 savourer. Il y a beaucoup d\u2019intuition l\u00e0-dedans et un peu de m\u00e9tier : si je retournais de quelques ann\u00e9es en arri\u00e8re, je noterais sans doute une \u00e9volution du style. <\/strong>
Is this the reason why, last Tuesday, I only published a reassuring hello, and not my usual column?<\/span><\/strong>
My blog has become important to me. It’s a challenge, usually weekly: to transform the ideas that I have in mind, more or less vague, sometimes precise, to knead them like a paste to make a whole, to know when it’s ripe, ready to harvest , or when cooked, ready to savor. There’s a lot of intuition there and a bit of craftsmanship: if I went back a few years, I’d probably notice an evolution in style.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Le fait de cliquer sur \u00ab publier \u00bb constitue ma premi\u00e8re r\u00e9compense, comme, j\u2019imagine, la plupart des choses gratuites. Ensuite, deuxi\u00e8me r\u00e9compense, la communication particuli\u00e8re qui se cr\u00e9e avec mon sympathique petit public. C\u2019est mieux si vous commentez, bien s\u00fbr, cependant mes pages n\u2019appellent pas n\u00e9cessairement de commentaires. Je vais aussi voir les statistiques de lecture, et j\u2019ai eu une bonne surprise : mardi dernier, alors que je ne vous avais pas envoy\u00e9 le petit rappel, mon blog a connu sa fr\u00e9quentation habituelle.<\/strong>
Clicking \u00ab publish \u00bb is my first reward, like, I imagine, most free stuff. Then, the second reward, the special communication that is created with my friendly little audience. It’s best if you comment, of course, however my pages don’t necessarily require comments. I’m also going to see the reading statistics, and I had a nice surprise: last Tuesday, when I hadn’t sent you the little reminder, my blog had its usual attendance.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Voil\u00e0 une bonne motivation pour ne pas prolonger mon absence de vos \u00e9crans. Et puis, je ne voulais pas abandonner Mex comme \u00e7a. J\u2019ai seulement \u00e9voqu\u00e9 la soir\u00e9e avec Rapha\u00ebl aux guitares et Marie au chant et au violoncelle, je ne peux pas m\u2019en contenter : ce fut une fort belle r\u00e9ussite. Mex est compositeur, et il \u00e9crit des textes remarquables : est-il \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cole de R\u00e9mo Gary qui, lui, est, parmi d\u2019autres, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cole de Jean Richepin ? J\u2019ai vu des centaines de personnes se lever pour une ovation m\u00e9rit\u00e9e apr\u00e8s l\u2019\u00e9coute des \u00ab oiseaux de passage \u00bb de Jean Richepin. Brassens a fait conna\u00eetre ce texte remarquable, mais en se limitant aux trois minutes impos\u00e9es par les radios, R\u00e9mo nous offre le texte int\u00e9gral d\u2019une dur\u00e9e de huit minutes !<\/strong>
This is a good motivation not to prolong my absence from your screens. Besides, I didn’t want to abandon Mex like that. I only mentioned the evening with Rapha\u00ebl on guitars and Marie on vocals and cello, I can’t be satisfied with that: it was a great success. Mex is a composer, and he writes remarkable texts: is he in the school of R\u00e9mo Gary who is in the school of Jean Richepin among others. I saw hundreds of people rise to a deserved ovation after listening to Jean Richepin’s \u00ab les oiseaux de passage \u00bb. Brassens made this remarkable text known, but by limiting to the three minutes imposed by the radios, R\u00e9mo offers us the full text lasting eight minutes!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

J\u2019insiste parce que Mex a travaill\u00e9 avec R\u00e9mo, et qu\u2019il se lance lui aussi dans des textes longs, ce n\u2019est pas courant. Toute une existence est \u00e9voqu\u00e9e dans la chanson de Mex, \u00ab les pognes du p\u00e8re \u00bb, une existence tranquille, travailleuse, modeste et digne. <\/strong>
I insist because Mex worked with R\u00e9mo, and he also writes long texts, it is not common. A whole existence is evoked in the song of Mex, \u00ab les pognes du p\u00e8re \u00bb, a quiet, hardworking, modest and dignified existence.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Ces mains, ces pognes, elles font le portrait de l\u2019homme tout entier qui n\u2019appara\u00eet pas nettement derri\u00e8re ce fragment de lui-m\u00eame. Ce pourrait \u00eatre comme l\u2019empreinte \u00e0 l\u2019envers de toute une vie, comme une ombre, un reflet tremblotant, image \u00e0 la fois fausse et r\u00e9elle. Connaissent-elles un instant de r\u00e9pit ? Elles n\u2019arr\u00eatent pas, toujours actives. <\/strong>
These hands, these \u00ab pognes \u00bb, they paint the portrait of the whole man who does not appear clearly behind this fragment of himself. It could be like the upside-down imprint of a lifetime, like a shadow, a flickering reflection, an image both false and real. Do they know a moment of respite? They do not stop, always active.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Je trahis le texte en le tronquant, je n\u2019en donne qu\u2019un tout petit fragment. Avec le texte int\u00e9gral, ma chronique aurait eu pour titre \u00ab les pognes du p\u00e8re \u00bb, mais je trouve dommage d\u2019enfermer dans la structure blog un texte qui demande \u00e0 \u00eatre dit en public, et puis je crains la lourdeur \u00e9ventuelle de la traduction.<\/strong>
I betray the text by truncating it, I only give a very small fragment. With the full text, my column would have been titled \u00ab  les pognes du p\u00e8re \u00bb, but I find it a shame to confine in the blog structure a text that requires to be said in public, and then I fear the possible heaviness of the translation.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Le petit m\u00f4me que personne ne voit \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cole, qui se croit transparent, qui souffre de solitude, c\u2019est \u00ab un yaourt \u00e0 l\u2019abricot \u00bb, \u00ab  ni d\u00e9geulasse ni vraiment bon \u00bb. Dans l\u2019assistance, une coll\u00e8gue en avait les larmes aux yeux. Cette analogie est un trait de g\u00e9nie, tout \u00e0 fait caract\u00e9ristique du style de Mex qui s\u2019\u00e9coute \u00e0 plusieurs niveaux.<\/strong>
The little kid that nobody sees at school, who thinks he’s transparent, who suffers from loneliness, is \u00ab an apricot yoghurt \u00bb, \u00ab neither disgusting nor really good \u00bb.

Tout le concert \u00e9tait sign\u00e9 Mex, sauf une reprise de la fameuse chanson de Lluis Llach, \u00ab le pieu \u00bb<\/a> :<\/strong>
\u00ab Compos\u00e9e durant la dictature du g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Franco en Espagne, c’est un cri \u00e0 l’unit\u00e9 d’action pour se lib\u00e9rer de l’oppression, pour atteindre la libert\u00e9. D’abord symbole de la lutte contre l’oppression franquiste en Catalogne, elle est devenue un symbole de la lutte pour la libert\u00e9. \u00bb<\/strong><\/em>
Cette chanson a \u00e9t\u00e9 en effet traduite dans plusieurs langues. On peut regretter de s\u2019\u00e9loigner de la question du franquisme, on peut appr\u00e9cier que les luttes se rejoignent autour d\u2019une chanson si forte.<\/strong>
The whole concert was signed Mex, except for a repeat of the famous song by Lluis Llach, \u00ab le pieu \u00bb<\/a> :<\/span><\/strong>
\u00ab Composed during the dictatorship of General Franco in Spain, it is a cry for unity of action to free oneself from oppression, to achieve freedom. Initially a symbol of the struggle against Franco\u2019s oppression in Catalonia, it has become a symbol of the struggle for freedom. \u00bb<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
This song has indeed been translated into several languages. We can regret moving away from the question of Francoism, we can appreciate that the struggles come together around such a strong song.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
